As the Autobahn A3 was fully blocked on Good Friday, our long Easter weekend, we had to get off and take the scenic route once more.
We passed through villages we had never seen before, some with unusual names such as the one below – Opferbaum (victim tree of sacrifice tree).
Rolling hills, plenty of bikers and bicyclists, and tons of sunshine were our companions on this trip.
We even got to take the ferry across the Mainschleife as we had to make a book drop-off to Schloss Zeilitzheim and there was no other way to get there, but to cross the river by ferry.
It was a good 3:15 hour scenic drive instead of the usual 2:15 hours on the Autobahn.
